I Went To A Buddhist Temple During Obon Festival.

My strongest supporter in Japan. My bicycle. At the entrance of the Buddhist temple in my neighborhood which is about 170 years old.
The Buddhist monk Shinran (1173-1263) – waiting for you at the entrance of the Buddhist temple in Nagaoka. He’s the founder of Jōdo Shinshū, the most widly practiced branch of Buddhism in Japan.
